Interlingua

Adjective

ver

1. true

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *wezor (stem *wezn-), from Proto-Indo-European *wósr? (“spring”). The original Italic form gave *veror, genitive *v?nis, with -s- lost before -n- with lengthening of the preceding vowel, as is usual in Latin. The -n- of the genitive stem was then replaced by the -r- of the nominative, and the genitive stem was then extended back to the nominative.

Cognate with Ancient Greek ??? (éar), Old Norse vár, Lithuanian vasara, Sanskrit ???? (vasar, “morning”) and ????? (vasantá, “spring”), Persian ????? (bahâr, “spring”), Old Armenian ?????? (garun), and Russian ?????? (vesná).
